All-American Eyeglass Repair
Frame repairs for eyeglasses and sunglasses at a walk-in counter on Foothill Boulevard in Hayward.
Acerca de
Nobody plans to need All-American Eyeglass Repair, which is what makes a shop on Foothill Boulevard near downtown Hayward useful: a snapped temple or a lens that keeps popping out is usually fixable rather than a reason to replace the frame. Jesus Meneses is listed as the owner. This entry was built from public directory data and the owner has not confirmed it yet.
Repairs usually handled
Eyeglass repair shops of this kind work on the frame rather than the prescription. Common jobs include soldering broken metal bridges and hinges, replacing snapped temples, fitting new nose pads and screws, re-seating a lens that has fallen out of a plastic frame, straightening frames that have been sat on, and re-drilling rimless mounts. Many also repair sunglasses, replace scratched sunglass lenses, and stock generic parts for frames whose maker no longer exists.
Hayward customers typically walk in with a frame the optometrist could not fix, or with a favourite pair that a new prescription can be fitted into once it is sound. Note that a repair shop does not make prescription lenses; for those, the repaired frame goes back to an optical shop.
What to expect at the counter
Bring all the pieces, including the screws, and the case. Ask for a quote before the work, whether the repair carries any warranty period, how long the shop needs the frame, and whether a solder joint will be visible. If the frame has a maker's warranty, check that a third-party repair will not void it. Walk-in counters usually take repairs during weekday business hours, so call before a long drive, and ask whether mail-in repair is an option if you cannot get there.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioCan any broken frame be repaired?
Most metal frames can be soldered and most plastic frames can be re-pinned or have a temple replaced, but some thin titanium or memory-metal frames and badly shattered plastic are not worth repairing. Ask for a quote before the work and whether the shop charges to look.
Will a repair change my prescription?
No. A repair shop works on the frame and re-mounts the existing lenses; it does not grind lenses. If a lens is cracked or scratched you will need an optical shop for a replacement, which the repaired frame can then take.
How long does an eyeglass repair take?
Simple fixes such as screws, nose pads and adjustments are usually done while you wait; soldering and temple replacement may take longer or require ordering a part. Ask when you drop off and whether a loaner is available.
Is a repaired frame as strong as new?
A soldered joint on a metal frame is generally durable but can be a weak point if the frame is bent again. Ask whether the repair carries a warranty period and how to handle a repeat break.
